No. 7. Best: Dale Ellis (right), 1983, first round, 9th overall. Over his 17 seasons, he shot better than 40 percent from 3-point range. Had his best years with other teams, primarily Seattle, but he was a fantastic 3-point shooter even in his first three seasons, when he was in Dallas. Worst: Mo Ager, 2006, first round, 28th overall. In parts of five seasons, Ager played in just 82 games. Why he’s a bust: Two words – Paul Millsap. The Mavericks weren’t the only ones to overlook Millsap, he went 19 picks later and reminded everybody that gold can be found in the second round.
